We're getting ready to develop some s/w for a client using a mix of PC's, Novell Netware on Lattisnet, and a NCR Tower running Unix r2 with TCP/IP. To simulate this enviroment (hah) we're putting the programmers on PC's connected via thin ethernet to a 386 running *nix 386. Now the question comes as to which TCP/IP and which TELNET and which RLOGIN (I am using this terms right?) Anyways, here's the real questions: For the PC, we'll be using DOS 3.3 and/or Windows/286 with Western Digital WD8003E cards. What software should be used? (It'd be nice if it's PD) For the Unix box, we've got an idle (hah) 386-25 with SCO Xenix 2.3.2. We can also use AT&T Unix V/386 3.2, if thats better. Again with the WD8003E and again which software package should we buy? (There MUST be a PD TCP/IP for this OS somewhere) For communicating (at the application level) between host and remote, what libraries exist for sending messages? Or should a RFS pipe/file message system be used? Is this where STREAMS comes in? Is the WD8003E card going to drag the 386 way down? Can the card even be used in the server? Thanks much. -- "It's such a fine line between stupid..." | Doug Lucy 703.820.3922 "...and stupid." | DC Pro, Falls Church, VA "Yeah, stupid." | uunet!tropez!dlucy
